BOTH TMC AND BJP HAVE LODGED COMPLAINTS OF ALLEGED INTIMIDATION BY RIVAL LEADERS

- HT Correspondent

Booth Level Officers in West Bengal are demanding central forces’ protection citing growing political threats ahead of the house-to-house voter enumeration starting on Tuesday, even as the Trinamool Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) lodged cross-complaints of intimidation.

Several BLOs flagged safety concerns during training sessions on Saturday. “We have informed the WBCEO's office of our concerns. The biggest concern is safety. Demands for providing security by central forces were also made,” said a BLO who attended a session at Nazrul Mancha in south Kolkata.

The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) for voter rolls in 12 states and union territories, including Bengal, begins on Tuesday.
